Best Oscar Gowns Ever... Post

Ladies, ladies here are a few of the most fabulous Oscar gowns...ever! These amazing works of art look like they were made with each particular wearer in mind.  Anyone else you'd like to add to the list?

Il Papa...

In a move that rocked the fashion world, Pope Benedict XVI stepped down from his position as the Holy See of the Catholic Church.  The stepping down part isn't what is throwing the fashion world in a thither, so much as the pope's announcement that he will stop wearing his trademark red loafers upon his resignation.

The stylish, hand-crafted Italian loafers have become synonymous with Pope Benedict, and a fashion statement so jazzy, Esquire Magazine called the pope "the accessorizer of the year" in 2007.

The pope will trade his red loafers in for a pair of brown, handmade Mexican loafers he received as a present when he visited the country last year. 

New York Fashion Week...Cats on the Catwalk?

New York Fashion Week showed that felines can give humans a run for their money on the catwalk. Five cats got to represent at New York Fashion Week, one, named Lily was used to set the pace for Tracy Reese's collection.

The cats went through rigorous training in leash walking and how to deal with lights, and loud music. But, the kicker is that although there were several cats considered, the deciding factors were the five cats with the best temperament and--get this--the best bodies got the job."It was important that we chose cats with a healthy body condition--not too much fat," Purina One spokesperson Nida Bockert told Yahoo Shine. Really lady? The cats can't have too much fat on their bodies?! 

I cannot tell you how greatly Ms. Bockert's statement upsets me.  Now, only skinny cats can walk on the catwalk with skinny models? Are we, as a culture, that obsessed with thinness, that we can't even let an innocent animal walk without judgement? It is truly unfortunate that this woman chose to go about it this way. Tracy Reese's collection was impeccable and it was fun to see the cats on the runway, and to hear Ms. Reese's appreciation for cats,  but Ms. Bockert made me get my claws out. I am afraid that there will be more cat fights to come from her ridiculous comment.

CBS Wardrobe Advisoryfor Grammys

So, this year it is the fashion faux paus rather than the fashion, that seems to be at the top of CBS's to do list.  They are requesting via memo, which was leaked to Deadline.com, asked that talent be sure their "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered." "Thong type costumes" and "bare sides or under curvature of the breasts" are listed as "problematic." The memo also advises against "bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack" and sheer, see-through clothing. Genitals must also be covered "so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure."

 

 

 

 

It will be interesting to see if the stars will follow the guidelines of the memo, or if the need to compete and stand out in a crowd will trump the requests.  We will see tonight.

The Ugliest Shoes of All Time

Ladies, ladies, ladies.  I am all for having flashy footwear, but with these shoes below, there's nothing that I can say that could save em.  Please do not wear these, ever.  These shoes definitely do not make the outfit.

Hot Dress?

Now, I've heard of hot dresses. We've all heard of hot dresses. In fact, we own some, that with the right shoes and accessories, can make a pretty hot impression when we're out. 

But, this dress, puts a new spin hot hot dress. Made from special material, it becomes transparent when the wearer becomes aroused. 

Not bad. Some guys don't pick up on our non-verbal cues that we're hot and bothered so well. This may be the answer to help them along. But whatever happened to, a coy smile, a wink and the "come hither look"?  It worked for Audrey Hepburn?  But, then again, everything worked for Audrey. 

The First Lady...and Her What?!

Now, I've written many, many posts about our first lady, Michelle Obama.  She's classy, smart, educated, stunningly beautiful and has a drop-dead bod, which makes her a fashionistas dream.

But, what can only go into the LOL and WTF columns at the same time, is Bob Grisham, an Alabama teacher, was suspended without pay for calling the first lady "Fat Butt" Michelle Obama.  Really?  I don't know which is more insane, the fact that someone gave him a teaching license, or that he thinks the first lady's butt is "fat."

I'm sure, he has access to the finest women his trailer park has to offer, but there's no need to beat up on the first lady or her butt. 

To be honest, if the first lady's butt is fat, there are millions of men who spend their free time coveting it, and even more women giving it all at the gym to have a butt just like hers.
